Romance/Poetry.
A/N: Most poems from here on will be in Naru's point of view; maybe I'll add in a few from Mai later on...Maybe. You're probably thinking, WHY DO YOU KEEP DELAYING MAI? I don't know; I like Naru; he's more interesting. Anyway, hope he's not too OOC; let me know what you think.
1. Endless Night.
I'm no poet, and yet I write as one
Possessed of the highest inspiration;
I know not rhyme, rhythm or meter, none
Of those that strain imagination.
But I write to still the demons of my soul,
To break the horrors of that fateful night,
When Death, that faceless fiend, forever stole
The better part of me, my twin, my light.
We, as blood-brothers, shared a kindred bond,
As unbreakable as sun is to day,
As enduring as Time who lives beyond
The scope of human life in every way.
With Gene, I could stare down the face of Death,
Spit in his eyes and smirk at all his threats;
I (the thinking mind), Gene (the living breath),
Together as one, we survived his tests.
Together, we could walk the dreaded seas
Of Hell, where few have ever dared to tread;
And whenever clients call, we heed their pleas
For help and freed them of their hopeless dread.
I used to think we were invincible,
Immune to all the horrors of our work;
But Death is silent and invisible,
Leering in the shadows, lurking with a smirk.
Death bid his time for us to separate,
Planning our demise with clever scheming;
And as the Fates themselves prognosticate,
He smote my brother while I was dreaming!
The dream, the horror, how could I forget
The crack and split and shattering of bone,
The shock of pain, the loss of breath, the wet
Feeling of sinking to the depths alone?
How could I forget the moment I awoke,
With my heart beating and my face sweating,
My brain within inches of having a stroke,
Tears running down my cheeks, my thoughts racing?
How could I forget the cold realization
That my world had changed, that I've lost the light?
But I've lost more than a close relation;
I've lost the magic; I'm left in Endless Night!
